This Georgian wing armchair is an eighteenth-century English seating piece dating from the 18th Century. The chair possesses tall proportions with a mahogany show frame, an ample seat depth, outscrolling arms of generous width, and sweeping back legs joined to two straight front legs with an H-form stretcher. It is upholstered in a yellow fabric featuring a repeating floral and botanical pattern in shades of brown and gold, complemented by square mahogany legs fitted with small brass castors. The floral upholstery accentuates the sculptural qualities of the wingback side wings. Measuring 110 cm high, 71 cm wide, and 70 cm deep, the armchair functions well as a reading chair or an accent seat in a living room, study, library, or bedroom within an English Country House interior.

FAQs

An 18th-century English wing armchair, or wingback chair, features high side panels originally designed to trap heat from a fireplace and protect the sitter from cold draughts.

These armchairs typically feature a solid mahogany or oak frame, hand-tied springs or horsehair padding, and turned or square timber legs joined by sturdy H-stretchers.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved mahogany legs, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, original brass castors, and period-appropriate wear to the frame.

Position the armchair alongside a side table and reading light to create a designated corner, pairing traditional patterned upholstery with neutral architectural details.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the timber and fabric, applying natural beeswax to the wooden legs periodically to preserve the finish.
